North Weald

I was wondering why no body had thought about taking on North Weald (Essex) and making it into an Executive jet airport for London like biggin hill or northolt.
Is right on the M11/M25, - 30 mins into the center of Lonon.
Has a masive area with large existing hangers that could be great for someone like jet aviation or a large Maintenance company to use for aircraft maintenance work.
Its got a very good solid runway. 1980 meters, which is bigger than Biggin , City, Oxford, Southend, and on par with Farnborough.
Its surrounded by open fields and farm land.
Its owned by Essex County Council and they are keen to sell, or develope the site for extra revenue (wants it to remain an airport).
I just thought that this is a little gold mine that could be developed.
